Hot doggie diddly damn!

Mon. 4/13/09 3:10pm Cecile:

I like this version.

Mon. 4/13/09 3:12pm Pearly Sweets:

Me too. I actually always liked the original theme too. But then the show started and usually the channel would change.

Mon. 4/13/09 3:17pm Pearly Sweets:

I turn away for a minute and it all turns pink!

Mon. 4/13/09 3:19pm dc pat:

a fine shade of peenk!

Mon. 4/13/09 3:21pm Lewis:

Any one know where to track down wretched string band recordings?

Mon. 4/13/09 3:24pm Pearly Sweets:

Already a great start! Hooray!

Mon. 4/13/09 3:30pm Cecile:

Very Firesign Theater-esque. I'm enjoying this.

Mon. 4/13/09 3:35pm Yehuda Mann:

Post-Easter-at the annual Citizen Kafka I'm not Dead Yet gig: The Citizen arises and looks around. If he turns around and heads back... Six more choruses of "Another Ice Cold Round".

Awww... Shulkie!!!

Mon. 4/13/09 3:38pm Marilyn Chambers:

I'm dead.

Mon. 4/13/09 3:38pm GP:

This sounds like it should have been a B-52's song......or is it?

Mon. 4/13/09 3:40pm Freud:

Tom Carvel - Oral Sex. hmmmm. Verrry interesting.

Mon. 4/13/09 3:43pm Pearly Sweets:

Mmm.. I could go for some Carvel right now.

Mon. 4/13/09 3:43pm GP:

Mr. Goodman, where can one go to find the lyrics to your songs / poetry.

Earthquake baby..yeah yeah!

Mon. 4/13/09 3:43pm Ismael:

Cookiepuss, anyone?

Mon. 4/13/09 3:44pm Pearly Sweets:

With my cupcake dinner.

Mon. 4/13/09 3:44pm Bad R☺nald:

Get your head around Fudgie the Whale Sigmund...

Mon. 4/13/09 3:44pm Van Ordinaire:

Super Smooth... Creamy and Delicious...

Mon. 4/13/09 3:48pm GP:

I meant a source for Citizens Kafka's material.

Mon. 4/13/09 3:49pm Galusha Zane Sturdley:

The Citizen used to bring the Metex to gigs: a tiny, imported miniature toy television set that emitted howling feedback. A real show-stopper...

Mon. 4/13/09 3:50pm k:

Hi all,
David Peel has nothin on this boy! (Deceased though he may be.)

Mon. 4/13/09 3:55pm dc pat:

cookie puss seems to have been embezzling from Carvel and may have had something to do w/ his death...

Mon. 4/13/09 3:57pm Bad R☺nald:

Cookie Puss is Fudgie the Whale in drag!

Mon. 4/13/09 3:59pm dc pat:

or vice versa, I can't believe they tried to push fudgie the whale over on us. It was so obvious..

Mon. 4/13/09 4:00pm Pearly Sweets:

Impossible! I have the Zapruder Film of Cookie Puss hanging out next to Fudgie the Whale.

Mon. 4/13/09 4:00pm Carmichael:

What the hell did I just tune into?!?!

Mon. 4/13/09 4:04pm Carmichael:

I'd like to request a whaling song, please.

Mon. 4/13/09 4:04pm Cecile:

a sea chanty

Mon. 4/13/09 4:06pm DS Jacobs:

Thank You,Thank You, Thank You Irene! This is just great! I knew Ritchi years ago. Got a good story. Taking any calls?

Mon. 4/13/09 4:06pm Ben:

I met Citizen Kafka 'cos I am the architect of the Housing Works Bookstore Cafe in Soho, NYC, and Citizen was the manager around 1997, about a year after the Bookstore Cafe opened. I think your radio tribute to Citizen is quite wonderful.

Mon. 4/13/09 4:11pm Irene:

No calls today. I think the gents would rather you put your thoughts into the comments page.

Mon. 4/13/09 4:11pm Carmichael:

It just feels wrong to do The Swim to a string band song.

Mon. 4/13/09 4:14pm Pearly Sweets:

I would love to watch the Scary Doody show. In my mind the visuals are quite amazing.

Mon. 4/13/09 4:16pm DS Jacobs:

Please ask Mr. Kosak (Weltz) to talk about thurday night gigs at Arturos pizza parlor in the late 70's

Mon. 4/13/09 4:18pm Sturd Galusha Zaneley:

Arturo's: Ah yes, Broiled Stuffed Mobster on the menu!

Mon. 4/13/09 4:19pm GP:

This vocaliser bit is hilarious.

Mon. 4/13/09 4:24pm Ike:

I loved the Secret Museum of the Air. But I had no idea that the Citizen did a comedy show featuring Mr. Goodman back in the day, or (as I just learned from the NPR story on CK) that J.G. was the mock-highfalutin recorded voice at the beginning of each Museum show. Wow.

Mon. 4/13/09 4:25pm Cecile:

We bow to your secret, absurdist past, Mr. G.

Too much red meat can cause some scary doody.

Mon. 4/13/09 4:32pm Cecile:

Mon. 4/13/09 4:36pm DS Jacobs:

Hallelujah Citzen Kafka! We Will Never Forget You!

Mon. 4/13/09 4:36pm GP:

Pearly, yet another invention waiting to happen...Kind of like those keychain deals that have funny sayings and movie quotes when you press the buttons.

Mon. 4/13/09 4:37pm Sean Daily:

Not even close to first comment! Woo hoo!

Pepto Bismol Pink! Woo hoo!

Mon. 4/13/09 4:38pm Carmichael:

Mon. 4/13/09 4:42pm Carmichael:

If I show up at your show, I'll need an 8-track copy.

Mon. 4/13/09 4:43pm Dr. Ed Habush:

Cassettes? iTunes? Howzabout 8-track tapes?

Mon. 4/13/09 4:44pm Cecile:

wax cylinders!

Mon. 4/13/09 4:45pm GP:

Man..triple jinx..I think that is a new record ( or 8-track as the case may be) nyck, nyck!

Mon. 4/13/09 4:46pm Carmichael:

Yes! Edison Spools! Acetates! 78s!

Mon. 4/13/09 4:47pm Cecile:

Mon. 4/13/09 4:47pm Carmichael:

I sense several incoming Budgie jokes.

Mon. 4/13/09 4:47pm Budgie:

Hail Satan, mon!

Mon. 4/13/09 4:49pm DS Jacobs:

Need Some Ganga Right Now Mon!

Mon. 4/13/09 4:50pm Cecile:

Budgie, did they sneak some seeds and stems into your feed?

Mon. 4/13/09 4:50pm Budgie:

Where's my present, mon?

Mon. 4/13/09 4:50pm Pearly Sweets:

I think we know Citizen Kafka's favorite accuplaylist in-joke.

Mon. 4/13/09 4:51pm Budgie:

Hey mon! I and I been turned into a budgie by this crazy white woman!

Mon. 4/13/09 4:52pm rastakeet:

Mon. 4/13/09 4:58pm Cecile:

Mon. 4/13/09 5:00pm Pearly Sweets:

Irene, this show has turned a gross bummer of a day and turned it right around. I thank you more than these simple accuplaylist comments can show.

Mon. 4/13/09 5:00pm Carmichael:

My dad used to play the Mitch Miller album with this song every Saturday night. It had singalong lyrics.

Mon. 4/13/09 5:03pm Lester Harry Covert:

Do you have CK on theremin? I think he was the only thereminist in the NY musicians union at one point.

Mon. 4/13/09 5:04pm DS Jacobs:

Ladies and Gentlemen, the great Andy Statman on Mandolin. Give him a hand!

Mon. 4/13/09 5:05pm Bad R☺nald:

John's voice is very recognizable. Does he have to stoop over in the studio when he stands up?

Mon. 4/13/09 5:08pm ?:

Ahh the famed "knucklehead smiff mandolin tuning."

Mon. 4/13/09 5:10pm Cecile:

Please, Mr. Fortune and Mr. Weltz, come and read community announcements every week!

Mon. 4/13/09 5:12pm Bad R☺nald:

Mon. 4/13/09 5:15pm DS Jacobs:

Hey Ronald, don't you mean Alan Kaufman?

Mon. 4/13/09 5:15pm Pearly Sweets:

At this moment? Someone must tell the rampler!

Mon. 4/13/09 5:19pm Bad R☺nald:

Him too but I'm sure Andy dug the "Pop Goes the Weasel" bit.

Mon. 4/13/09 5:19pm Zane Sturda Galushley:

No lie... I watched Shulkey take a Dremel to his tooth.

Mon. 4/13/09 5:23pm DS Jacobs:

Dremel Moto-Tool: a small, powerful drill

Mon. 4/13/09 5:31pm Pearly Sweets:

If it was meddling andy it would have been about breckman.

Mon. 4/13/09 5:33pm Irene:

No, it was Andy Statman.

Mon. 4/13/09 5:33pm DS Jacobs:

OY VEH!!!!!!!!!!

Mon. 4/13/09 5:34pm Punchy Chicken:

Mon. 4/13/09 5:37pm Samuel Taylor Coleridge:

Mon. 4/13/09 5:38pm DS Jacobs:

We Love This Crap!

Mon. 4/13/09 5:39pm Budgie's Owner:

I was going to buy you a present... but then I got high.

Mon. 4/13/09 5:40pm Samuel Taylor Coleridge:

At least the tune was awesome. :D

Mon. 4/13/09 5:42pm Zodram:

Mon. 4/13/09 5:46pm GP:

This has been a wonderful way to start my week. Thanks for this show today!

Mon. 4/13/09 5:49pm Pearly Sweets:
